Families & Friends for Drug Law Reform believes prohibition laws are more the problem than the solution. It seeks alternative laws that minimise the harms.
Our Policy & Engagement manager, Robert Taylor, spoke to @7NewsMelbourneabout the alarming increase in synthetic opioids. The @VicGovDH issued a drug alert for a white powder posing as cocaine, which contains a dangerous substance, protonitazene: health.vic.gov.au/drug-alerts/co…
I wanted to tell you here first: pill testing will be trialled in Victoria this summer.
Just imagine what harm reduction would achieve in Australia & elsewhere if didn’t have to waste so much time & energy fighting for interventions & instead could deploy that energy starting & expanding interventions! @harmreductionau @weareuniting @FFDLR
I’m sitting on a plane, on the way back to Canberra, from implementing QLDs first #pilltesting trial at #RabbitsEatLettuce. So I have some time to address this nonsense. Let’s have at it. theguardian.com/australia-news…
@AlexWodak Sorry Alex, I missed the fight bit just frustrated with fear media that runs the show and holds up reform
Come on @AlexWodak change has been far too slow. Political parties are far too easily intimidated with the fear tactics of the press when they could be preserving and improving lives. Australia should do much better. Well done @greencate and @weareuniting.
Based on principle 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing, drug law reform supporters IMHO should accept incremental gains while continuing to advocate for more substantial reforms @weareuniting @harmreductionau @FirstSteptweets @Unharmdotorg
